Our objectives are to strengthen the ethical commitment of social, political and economic actors, to help heal the wounds of history by building trust and to nurture peace by forging networks among people of different faiths and cultures. Our holistic approach places the human being in the foreground. This breaks down silos and enables the individual to take the first steps towards a greater change. To achieve this, we organize and coordinate the International Caux Conferences, expert dialogues, seminars, programmes, training sessions and events all over Switzerland. There is a common meeting ground in the fact that we all need to change - nations as well as people... if leaders change they can change their people. If people change, they can change their leaders.” Frank Buchman, Founder of Initiatives of Change 6 The CAUX-Initiatives of Change Foundation Annual Report 2015 Annual Report 2015 The CAUX-Initiatives of Change Foundation 7 THE 2015 CAUX CONFERENCES THE CAUX CONFERENCES IN NUMBERS: he Foundation’s flagship activity is the organization of INTERNATIONAL CAUX CONFERENCES 2015 OFFICIAL the International Caux Conferences each summer, to OPENING Taddress selected topical world issues related to trust On Sunday 28 June 2015, the Caux Conferences season building, ethical leadership, sustainable living and human was officially opened by Antoine Jaulmes, President of security.

  • Faith for an Ideological Age
    Journal of Eastern Christian Studies 61(3-4), 265-287. doi: 10.2143/JECS.61.3.2046975 © 2009 by Journal of Eastern Christian Studies. All rights reserved. FAITH FOR AN IDEOLOGICAL AGE THE MORAL AND RELIGIOUS IDEAS OF SEMYON FRANK AND FRANK BUCHMAN PHILIP BOOBBYER* INTRODUCTION The challenge of secular ideology in recent centuries has given rise to various forms of religious humanism that have sought to synthesise a Christian per- spective with social and political concerns. In the mid-20th century, religious thinkers sought alternatives to fascism, communism and materialistic capital- ism, as well as calling for reconciliation and reconstruction in a war-torn world. Two contrasting, yet at the same time intriguingly similar figures, the Russian philosopher, Semyon Liudvigovich Frank (1877-1950), and the American spiritual leader, Frank Buchman (1878-1961), are the focus of this study. Although from a Jewish background, Semyon Frank was a convert to Orthodoxy. One of Russia’s so-called “legal Marxists”, he became a promi- nent intellectual opponent of revolutionary socialism, and was amongst the elite group of thinkers exiled from the USSR in 1922 on the so-called “phi- losophy steamer”.1 In exile he warned of the threats to Western democracy from both communism and materialism, and formulated, particularly in the 1940s, a social and political philosophy rooted in religious principles.2 Frank Buchman, the founder of the movement known as the Oxford Group and then Moral Re-Armament, came from a very different background. Born into a Lutheran, Pennsylvania Dutch family, he was shaped by the culture of East Coast American evangelism, as well as the Keswick movement.

I hope the readers of this book will feel strengthened to promote the changes that are needed and to help people around them.’ Katholiek Nieuwsblad: ‘The ideal to forgive for a better world is still of paramount importance... a near revolutionary thought in the Netherlands of today.’ Friesch Dagblad: ‘This book is honest and it holds a mirror for the reader. It describes the essence of the movement, without being yet another catechism. The principles come together in the Golden Rule: Treat others as you want them to treat you.’ Bert Endedijk, publisher of the book in the Netherlands, director of Kok/ten Have: ‘The author describes an important movement. She places herself in a vulnerable position by looking critically at the movement which is dear to her.’ Father Bert ten Berge, SJ: ‘This book was my spiritual reading for my retreat.

  • Lived Religion and the Changing Spirituality and Discourse of Christian Globalization: a Canadian Family's Odyssey
    Lived Religion and the Changing Spirituality and Discourse of Christian Globalization: A Canadian Family’s Odyssey MARGUERITE VAN DIE Queen’s University Few individuals have presented a greater challenge to a secular society’s understanding of the past than the missionary. “Once almost universally acclaimed as a self-sacrificing benefactor, he or she is now more com- monly dismissed as an interfering busybody and in all probability a misfit at home who could find only among the colonized a captive audience on whom to impose a narrow set of beliefs and moral taboos.”1 Thankfully, in the three decades since this memorable characterization by Canadian church historian John Webster Grant, research into related areas such as gender and theological change has done much to deconstruct these stereotypes. Recent work on Christian globalization has moreover drawn attention to the ways the missionary enterprise changed religion not simply among the indigenous population, but also at home. Mark Noll, for example, has argued that by the early twentieth century as part of a larger global “multi-centering,” Christianity in North America was subtly shifting away from traditional church and imperial norms towards new models. It is now generally accepted that this re-centering was accompa- nied by an enormous release of evangelical energy, and the impact of an emerging global society profoundly reshaped Christianity.2 My essay builds on Noll’s observations, but rather than focusing on missionary institutions and their spokespersons, it examines from below some of the continuities and changes in the spirituality and discourse of Christian globalization. It does this within the context of three generations Historical Papers 2015: Canadian Society of Church History 114 Spirituality and Discourse of Christian Globalization of a well-to-do Toronto family for whom missions and international travel were a compelling way of life.

He was the founder of ‘Médecine de la Personne’ (‘Medicine of the Person’) [1]. His work and his message is best understood against the background of his biography. His attitude and challenge were derived from his own experiences and insights, yet even today seem equally valid for health care systems across the world that are striving to meet the wish of patients and service users for more person-centered and holistic health care. Early biography Paul Tournier became an orphan after his father, pastor of the Geneva Cathedral, had died shortly after Paul’s birth and his mother had died from breast cancer when Paul was only six years. He described the feeling of painful emp- tiness and vanishing into nothingness, afraid of being totally insignificant to anybody in the future. He grew up with his aunt and uncle, a businessman. Unable to accept affection, he withdrew into himself and had no friends.
